Rider Presents Piracy Study to IMO

At a May Maritime Safety Committee meeting in London, the International Maritime Organization gave SCI an opportunity to speak about its new Piracy Trauma Study. Douglas Stevenson, Director of SCI's Center for Seafarers' Rights, talks with the Institute's Executive Director, the Rev. David M. Rider, about SCI's half-hour presentation. Rider concludes, "It was a good day at the IMO."

SCI operates the world’s only full-time, free legal aid program for merchant mariners. The Center for Seafarers’ Rights works to improve laws and practices that protect mariners and increase the safety and security of the maritime industry.
